Description
Organizations need to monitor for unauthorized remote access connections to information systems in order to determine if break-in attempts or other unauthorized activity is occurring. There are already other SRG requirements for applications to generate audit connection logs to record connection activity. It is for the organization to determine which of those audited connections is unauthorized. This task is usually handled by the IDS, log alarming or some other security mechanism specifically designed to automate and address this requirement. This requirement is NA for applications not designed to monitor for unauthorized remote connections to information systems. Applications designed to meet this requirement must be able to do so on an organization-defined frequency.
